Windows 7/XP/Vista drivers will not install on Windows 8... One of yet another bits of stupid Microsoft does with a new OS release....
Hell, alot of things won't install on Windows 8... Best thing you can do is downgrade (really an upgrade this time, though - kind of like Vista->XP or ME->98SE) to 7... Lots of headaches to be saved that way....

Well you could put a linux distro on a flash drive and then boot from that if you didnt feel like creating a partition for it on your hard drive. I'd recommend Puppy Linux

You need to disable "enforce driver signing" to get them to install in windows 8.

I'm a fan of your roms, this question was because I was trying to install your ROM after I root the phone.

Mhmm not so sure Virtualbox will be able to virtualize stuff that it isn't even able to do on the first level
Actually if virtual box was able to do this there would be muuuch less trouble with drivers on Linux (thinking about iPods, printers, scanners...)
